’Tis a blessèd hope,
and it cheers my soul,
I shall rest by and by over Jordan;
When my work is done
and my crown is won,
I shall rest, sweetly rest
over Jordan.
Over Jordan, over Jordan,
I shall rest
Sweetly rest by and by;
’Tis a precious hope,
’tis a blessèd hope,
I shall rest, sweetly rest
over Jordan.
’Tis a blessèd hope
which my Savior gives,
I shall rest by and by over Jordan;
I shall see Him there
in His mansion fair,
When I rest, sweetly rest
over Jordan.
Over Jordan, over Jordan,
I shall rest
Sweetly rest by and by;
’Tis a precious hope,
’tis a blessèd hope,
I shall rest, sweetly rest
over Jordan.
With a steadfast faith
I will labor on,
I shall rest, sweetly rest
over Jordan;
O what joy ’twill be
the redeemed to see,
When I rest, sweetly rest,
over Jordan.
Over Jordan, over Jordan,
I shall rest
Sweetly rest by and by;
’Tis a precious hope,
’tis a blessèd hope,
I shall rest, sweetly rest
over Jordan.
